I have been here for several days now, and I appreciate all the kindness that has been shown to me as I have tried to adjust to this very different place.

I do, however, need to find a permanent place to stay. Mr. Methos has been very kind to me in letting me stay with him, but I very much need to find my own place so that he may have his bedroom back.

Does anyone have a spare room? I would be glad to do cooking and cleaning in return for letting me stay with you.

	There are spare rooms in a lot of the apartments. I just looked around until I found one I liked the look of. (Reply to this) (Thread)

	Mr. Peter of_lyrnessus 2013-01-10 10:31 pm UTC (link)
	We can do that? Just choose a place to live? What if there are other people there? It won't bother them? Perhaps I shall look tonight. How are you feeling? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	I guess it would help if you got along with the people you're living with ~~if you care about things like that~~. But in the end it's up to you. ~~The same. Worse?~~ Better. Thanks. You? Settling? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Mr. Peter of_lyrnessus 2013-01-10 10:36 pm UTC (link)
	I suppose I shall try to find someone I get along with. But if I have my own room, I suppose it doesn't matter much. Are you sure? Are you eating? I am...trying to settle. Everything is so very strange here. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	You'll still have to deal with running into people in the living areas and that's never fun if you don't like your roommates. Believe me, I know firsthand. Yes. I'm eating. I promise. I told you: I can look after myself. I've been doing it for long enough. Finding a room will probably help. It's good to have your own space. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Mr. Peter of_lyrnessus 2013-01-10 10:56 pm UTC (link)
	Yes, I suppose that is true. I will look, and see what I can find. Yes, yes, I know that you can take care of yourself. You have told me that before, but it doesn't change the fact that I like looking after you. You are my friend. And I like cooking for you. Yes, I hope that it will. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	~~I don't want to give you the wrong idea~~ ~~You cooking for me would feel kinda intima~~ Sure. Maybe we can eat together again once you're settled somewhere. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Mr. Peter of_lyrnessus 2013-01-10 11:02 pm UTC (link)
	We don't have to, if you don't want. I don't want to bother you, or be in the way. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Briseis unknownassassin 2013-01-10 11:13 pm UTC (link)
	No, it would be nice. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Mr. Peter of_lyrnessus 2013-01-10 11:22 pm UTC (link)
	I think it would be nice, too. But I know you have much to do here, and probably enjoy your time alone, so please tell me if you wish for me to leave you alone. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Briseis unknownassassin 2013-01-10 11:26 pm UTC (link)
	Just let me know when you're settled. We'll work something out. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Mr. Peter of_lyrnessus 2013-01-10 11:27 pm UTC (link)
	I will. Please take care of yourself, Mr. Peter? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Briseis unknownassassin 2013-01-10 11:32 pm UTC (link)
	I will. (Reply to this) (Parent)

	Before you go, help me remember a recipe I once ate on Knossos? I know it had shrimps and honey. (Reply to this) (Thread)

	of_lyrnessus 2013-01-10 10:48 pm UTC (link)
	Ah, yes. Shrimp with honey glaze? I can show you how to make that. Can you find garos here? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	_methos_ 2013-01-10 10:50 pm UTC (link)
	If my memory's correct, I think fermented fish sauce should come close. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	of_lyrnessus 2013-01-10 10:54 pm UTC (link)
	Then I shall show you how to make it before I leave. It is really quite simple, as dishes go. Shrimp, garos, olive oil, honey, oregano, and some pepper is all that you need to make it. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	_methos_ 2013-01-10 10:55 pm UTC (link)
	I've been chasing after it for a long time, so thank you. It's nice to have someone to back up my recipes. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	of_lyrnessus 2013-01-10 10:58 pm UTC (link)
	It is no problem at all, I assure you. (Reply to this) (Parent)

	theinnocent 2013-01-11 03:29 am UTC (link)
	Have you found a room yet? I would offer to let you stay with us, but our flat is pretty full right now with all four of us and the babies on the way. How are you adjusting, by the way? I know it can be so very overwhelming. (Reply to this) (Thread)

	of_lyrnessus 2013-01-11 03:32 am UTC (link)
	I think I have found a place, but thank you. I'm not sure we've spoken, have we? My name is Briseis. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	theinnocent 2013-01-11 03:37 am UTC (link)
	We spoke the other day? I'm Lucy, the girl who's with the Peter you didn't feed? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	of_lyrnessus 2013-01-11 03:37 am UTC (link)
	Oh! I'm sorry. You're the younger one's woman. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	theinnocent 2013-01-11 03:38 am UTC (link)
	I suppose you could put it that way, yes. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	of_lyrnessus 2013-01-11 03:39 am UTC (link)
	Does that make you...the older one's woman too? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	theinnocent 2013-01-11 03:42 am UTC (link)
	I don't think so? I hardly know the older Peter. They're the same, but still two separate beings. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	of_lyrnessus 2013-01-11 03:43 am UTC (link)
	But they're both still...your Peter? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	theinnocent 2013-01-11 11:41 am UTC (link)
	Not exactly. I suppose somewhere deep inside he's the same as my Peter. But he doesn't remember me or know me- he comes from another reality, as far as I can understand. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	of_lyrnessus 2013-01-11 05:24 pm UTC (link)
	That must be very strange for you. I would think, though, that if they're the same person, he'd have a soft spot for you, too. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	theinnocent 2013-01-11 07:09 pm UTC (link)
	I'm not sure what he might think of me. I dint know how much he's changed from my Peter, you know? It could certainly be very strange! (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	of_lyrnessus 2013-01-11 07:16 pm UTC (link)
	But they are the same person. I am sure there is change, but they have the same heart, yes? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	theinnocent 2013-01-11 10:09 pm UTC (link)
	One would hope so, but i truly do not know how it works. This could get very complicated very quickly, it seems. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	of_lyrnessus 2013-01-11 11:09 pm UTC (link)
	I wish you truly the best of luck in figuring things out. I do not envy you this. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	theinnocent 2013-01-11 11:53 pm UTC (link)
	Thank you. (Reply to this) (Parent)

	If you still need a place I'm the only one in my apartment, you're welcome to take a bedroom. No cooking or cleaning is required, but I won't try to stop you from doing it either. (Reply to this) (Thread)

	of_lyrnessus 2013-01-11 03:51 am UTC (link)
	That's very kind of you, sir. If you don't mind, I think I will. I'm a decent cook, I promise. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	macleod1518 2013-01-11 03:58 am UTC (link)
	You're welcome and it's no trouble. If we're going to be sharing an apartment you can call me Connor, not sir. I don't doubt that you are, just don't feel obligated to do so. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	of_lyrnessus 2013-01-11 04:00 am UTC (link)
	Of course, Mr. Connor, whatever you like. Oh, but I shall anyway. I must make myself useful somehow. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	macleod1518 2013-01-11 04:21 am UTC (link)
	Mr. Connor? What am I getting myself into? You make yourself useful by being you. If that means you want to cook and clean, so be it, but I don't want an irrational pregnant woman on my case for 'mistreating' you. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	of_lyrnessus 2013-01-11 08:32 am UTC (link)
	People seem so concerned about people 'mistreating' me. I am not some wilting flower, Mr. Connor, I promise you that. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	macleod1518 2013-01-11 12:05 pm UTC (link)
	I actually have little doubt of that, it was more of an official protest for the record than anything else. These modern types don't understand how easy they've had it sometimes. This should be interesting, I'll introduce you to the dishes of my homeland and a few modern ones. It'll be an exchange. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	of_lyrnessus 2013-01-11 05:28 pm UTC (link)
	It seems a bit that way to me as well. And they seem rather quick to condemn those who do not agree with them completely. I should enjoy that, thank you. (Reply to this) (Parent)
